Live Consultations

Leeds City Council's commissioning team are undertaking a comprehensive review of our Targeted Plus and Specialist Short Breaks Offer.

 In collaboration with children, young people, parents, carers, professionals, and practitioners we are transforming the Short Breaks offer in Leeds, starting in April 2025. This transformation will be implemented incrementally, with some changes occurring immediately and others within 6 to 12 months.

Our objective is to enhance the Short Breaks offer for children and families in Leeds, focusing on creating a clear, coherent, and transparent provision that maximizes the city's resources and ensures a coordinated package of support.

Please complete the survey before the 29th of November 2024 using the survey link below: https://surveys.leeds.gov.uk/s/Z34S4P/ 

If you have any questions, please email SENDcommissioning@leeds.gov.uk

Leeds City Museum is one of the eight Leeds Museums & Galleries sites. It is in Millenium Square in Leeds City Centre. 

There are four galleries in Leeds City Museum. 

The Life on Earth Gallery tells the story of all living things on earth based on animals and fossils owned by Leeds Collectors. The Leeds Story Gallery tells of the history of Leeds: from the Vikings to present day. 

Our Ancient Worlds Gallery explores the beliefs and everyday lives of Ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians. This gallery features the remains of a mummified Ancient Egyptian priest, Nesyamun. 

There a further two smaller galleries, Voices of Asia and Collectors Cabinet can be found on the first floor as well as three events spaces: the Brodrick Hall, the Thoresby Room and the Denny Room. 

Leeds City Museum are inviting families of children with additional needs to the museum this festive season (although you are always welcome!) to give them feedback on the accessibility of their displays and spaces. 

The following survey will take 5-10 minutes to complete and can be done during or after their visit.

They aim to act on the feedback and make Leeds City Museum a space that is truly for everyone. 

Leeds Museums & Galleries are consulting on changes to the service in response to Leeds City Council facing unprecedented financial challenges.

There are two proposals, which are now out for public consultation:

• To close Abbey House Museum to the public, to make an annual saving of £160,000 starting in 2025/26.
• To change admission charges at Kirkstall Abbey to charge everyone to visit the main Abbey ruins.

These proposals are subject to public consultations which are live from 12 December 2024 to 23 January 2025.
